Statistics - Two way Tables - Starter

Within the Year 5 curriculum for the Autumn Term's Week 7, Day 3, students are tasked with a series of mathematical exercises to enhance their fluency in fundamental concepts. The 'Fluent in Four' revision segment commences with a multiplication challenge where students must calculate the product of 62 and 9. This is followed by a practical application of addition and subtraction, where learners are instructed to verify the sum of 3,795 and 5,971, which equals 9,766, by using a corresponding subtraction method. This reinforces the understanding that subtraction is the inverse operation of addition, and students are encouraged to explore if there are multiple subtraction calculations that can confirm the accuracy of the addition result.

The lesson continues with a focus on prime numbers, prompting students to list all prime numbers between 20 and 40, and between 40 and 100. This exercise aids in familiarising pupils with the concept of prime numbers and their distribution within a given range. Additionally, the session includes a division exercise that involves place value understanding. Students learn to divide a number by 100 by moving the digits two places to the right within a place value chart, transforming the number into tenths and hundredths. For example, dividing 0.11 by 100 results in 0.0110, illustrating the shift in place value. These varied activities are designed to consolidate students' arithmetic skills and deepen their comprehension of number properties.
